Re: [kictanet] Institutional framework
Bill, I know yesterday was the last day of these discussions...but I feel I needed to chip in on the PMs office being the cordinating ICT organ...my take is that it may work btwn now and 2012, and then what next? Remember as much as the PMs office and his cordinating role is in our constitution, I tend to think that by 2012 this may not obtain. Depending on how we rewrite our constitution, the PM office maybe too strong, too weak or simply deleted and either case the ICT cordination role would then be misplaced. There was some KICTAnet breakfast meeting last year where the numerous ICT agents, organisations, assosciations, societies etc were enumurated (over 50!) and I wish Brian/Harry? who was the secretary could share with Listers to appreciate the level of confusion that stalks our ICT landscape in this country. Something needs to be be done to harness and cordinate their good efforts. walu. --- On Tue, 6/16/09, Bildad Kagai <billkagai@gmail.com> wrote:

No need establishing another quango as is being suggested here when you have a functional office entrenched in the constitution and read together with the national accord. The Prime Minister suffices. Sometimes I wonder where some of us went to school!!! (on a light note).

You are right Walu, Engineer Rege might be our saviour can't his committee look into this?, proliferation of many bodies and associations is a symptom of frustration Hon Rege please respond Regards On Wed, Jun 17, 2009 at 11:58 AM, Walubengo J <jwalu@yahoo.com> wrote:

Then, Hon. Engineer will lay out his plans when he is Minister for InfoCom in January 2013. We have to inculcate a system that works with Agip. [Any Government in Power]. When it comes to ICT, you need to think short term since technology changes so fast and furious...and so should our plans and those spearheading them.
